A scream escaped my lips as the Inspector’s hand tightened around my Dad’s neck. I flung myself upon him and tried to pry his hands off. It mildly registered in my head that my Dad wasn’t fighting back. I could hear him trying to say something as the Inspector punched and hit him.831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwIT32pUPp

“Sir! What in the world are you doing?” Someone pushed me away roughly and pulled the Inspector away from my Dad. My mind was so confused that it took me a while to recognize the person who intervened. It was Uncle Sunder. He was assisting the Inspector in the investigation. He was also a dear friend of my Dad.831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkedgkjEPcV

“What happened?” He asked Dad.831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0A2zcm9OP

“The Inspector attacked him out of the blue.” I exclaimed. “He…He…He was trying to strangle…”831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsMSP2x6vL

The Inspector did not look any less angry. But he seemed to realize the gravity of what he had done. He mumbled something like an apology to Dad and walked away.831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMa7LVSTsS

​“Sunder…Do not report this incident.”831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRPKQSc0TA

“What! Not report…Dad…he…”831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gpLP06p3s

“It was thoughtless of him.” Dad said. He stroked his neck. I could see the angry red marks of the Inspector’s fingers. Why? Why was he letting it go? Why didn’t he want the Inspector punished?831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mRtxt3scI
Uncle Sunder, on the other hand, was not at all surprised by Dad’s decision.831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt70aVPpj9

“If you say so.” He nodded curtly and said.831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tD3YYymss

The voice, calm and cool, spoke in my head. “Poor Ram…”831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnzrggrdBK

Uncle Sunder left soon after. The spectators left too as the show was over. As Dad lead me to my class, deaf to the million questions that I threw at him, the rational part of my brain rushed to an unpleasant conclusion.831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdvSZMaOeF

Everything that the Inspector said was true. If it was so…Could I blame him for attacking Dad? I felt numb, helpless…Unable to even think about the things I heard.831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB3C4hVzeT

“They’re all true, aren’t they? The things that the Inspector said…” I asked him, as we reached the class. “Is that why you are not answering my questions?”831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6BER73g1i

I hoped…I desperately hoped he would shout at me…say that not a word of those dreadful accusations was true. But…He…He just went away. Without a word…Without a single word.831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryqIqjetoq
I walked mechanically into the classroom. By the time I sat down on my bench, I was sobbing uncontrollably.831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe5Sb8DGef
